In-Laws WHY the Hate..
Well, mine makes snide remarks about how they are missing out on adult bonding time with my husband because of his life choices and tons of other bubblegush that hint that I am a burden to him. While my husband was at BMT, they drove me insane, acting like I was keeping info from them. (Even though I told them everything) WEll, I told my husband this and he seemed to agree with me and was going to protect me from it....but now that he is on con-leave and they can speak to him, he's back to the way he was before bmt. Seems like when they can talk to him, I take the back seat and they do no wrong. I'm just fed up with feeking second best. Wish he'd go back to bmt, at least then I felt like I had a husband.
I get along with my in-laws, luckily. I have grown pretty close to my older SIL but it hasn't always been that way. To them, I was just another flavor of the month and I would soon come and go.
If it were the opposite, I would not come between my husband and his family. His family is his family nonetheless. On the other hand, I certainly believe that I should be the first woman in his life. Yes his mom has been around well before I have come into the picture; however, I will be around well after she is gone. If he were to make a decision that could affect me or his family, I personally expect him to choose me. Call me selfish but I feel we our his "first" family. Any decision made should be considered with his wife and mother of his children in mind. I expect him to stick up for me because I would (and have) done the same for him with my own family.
Hang on, I wanna try something!
While I do agree that some people are just hard to deal with in general. I just feel bad for those of you who arent able to have a great relationship with the in-laws. I never met my husbands father, he passed when him & I first started dating. His mother is so kind & generous. My daughter was 4 when I married my husband and his mother treats her like she was there her whole life. She sends her amazing gifts & always talks to her on the phone & will spend the whole day catering to her when we visit. Even when his brother was certain I was marrying my hubby "for someone to take care of me" his mother defended me without really knowing me. She will always have a place in my heart for that. I hope that all of you with "difficult" in-laws will one day be able to mend fences. & if not, just know that they are the ones missing out by ignoring the adult choices their sons (or daughters) have made.
I am all for not coming between a spouse and their family. However, the DIL or SIL should be granted the same consideration. I think most of the time when people are ranting or venting about their in laws, it has to do with the in laws attempting to sabotage their marriage, in some way, shape or form. And at times, their is no "living and let live" in those situations. You can try to be polite, you can try avoidance. But their comes a time when those things do not work. Then, what do you do?
So I started reading through the posts, and I wonder how anyone can judge wives. You can't make up in your wildest dreams the depths in laws are capable of, to keep their "baby boy" emotionally all theirs. In law issues are practically folklore -- even exists in the bible. I know there are wives out there who cause friction, but if you are treating their son well and being polite and inclusive, there is no excuse to insist we share the blame for their pyschotic behavior. Trust me, we have tried every pastor-suggested tactic to deal with my in-laws, and nothing has changed.
I started out with a great relationship with my in-laws, and ignored that they tried to control and belittle their sons, and that they have a long history of starting family feuds with various relatives over ridiculous things. When we got married, I nagged DH to call his parents more, include them more in our life, b/c I come from a "more the merrier" household. My family made an effort even, and they treat my DH great. But his parent believe "if my son loves something, he has less love for me" , therefore were offended to hear about his job, friends, awards, medical issues -- and repeatedly told him "We don't like how you talk about your wife... like she's the center of the universe" Really?! Not glad that their son is a good man who does good things and has a wife who loves him and treats him well? They reward his adult brother for failing and for "obedience" to them. We were constantly being "Christian" and apologizing for percieved slights against them, like not serving them food on our wedding china every night.
When we finally got pregnant, they were ANGRY-- yelling, accusing, saying the ugliest things, even to cornering MY relatives at the grocery store and telling them what a horrible person I am. (frankly, I think they did it because upsetting me hurts DH, and they like to watch suffering). His brother has even threatened to physically assault us, with their support. Why?! Our child was born on a holiday, and they left a message telling him that "they hoped he knew that he'd be having much more fun with "his family" than in a hospital, and wasn't he sorry?" It wasn't a joke, they were serious!
I am glad I never tried to come between them, even though they decimate DH's self-esteem, bc when they made him choose btw his wife/child and them.... HE picked US. And they disowned him, and told his relatives ugly things about him. Even that has not stopped them from sending us manipulative notes and emails all the time. We just want them to leave us in peace, and they won't even do that.
I will say this. This post may get a little long. I do not hate my in-laws. At first My MIL and I got along like 2 peas in a pod. We talked we laughed we shared stories. You see i've known my in-laws since I was 10. All except my FIL. Well MIL and I got along great, SIL and I get along great, FIL and I butted heads horribly. The day we announced our engagement is when MIL and I didn't get along so great. She was still very civil towards me but the atmosphere turned a little red when that ring was put on my finger. Comments were made. Then FIL and I became a little more civil around each other, SIL and I have never had any problems at all. The day DH and I said I DO was the day my MIL became pure evil. She would make comments about us being too young yes we were in our early 20's however she was 16 when she married THE FIRST TIME. Plus making comments about not having any kids until we were for sure we were going to stay together and this wasn't just a "phase". Those remarks were eh whatever but still very rude. A year into our marriage we found out we had gotten pregnant. We weren't trying but not preventing at the same time. We were ecstatic at the news. MIL told us how horrible of a mistake we made and how I had my DH trapped now even though we have known each other for 14 years dated for 6 engaged for 2 and now married for 2 with a 7 almost 8 month old son. She accused me of ruining my husbands life and that I wasn't her daughter in law and will never be considered her daughter in law and how our unborn child ( at the time) doesn't and will never matter to her. She then proceeded to, while she is standing there with her "drink of choice" in hand, hits me in my stomach at 6 months pregnant. I did everything I could to keep from hitting that woman. My husband saw this with his own eyes. He has NEVER hit a woman but was ready to at this point. I instinctively Hit her back in defense( in her chest it was more of a very hard shove) and rage for my unborn child and my own sanity. Well he defended me and we left. At this point in life he was preparing for BMT for the Air Force. He is now gone to BMT in the Air Force and she has gotten NASTY. She called me the day after he left trying to find someone to talk to. I spoke with her and tried to comfort her as best I can behind the comments of,"You will never understand what it's like to lose someone you love", and " He is my son I will be here longer than any woman who tries to ruin his life." So I told her I'm sorry I can no longer speak with you, you have his address to write, and he has your number to call. Please do not call me anymore. Well it's been a month and she decides to call and chit chat. The first call yesterday was OK. Then she let me go and said she would call me back. After having her "drink of choice" she decides to call me back later that evening. I attempted to sit through the slurring and crying and the murmering incoherently. Then she begins cursing at me and states that once again I will never understand what it's like to be seperated from the person I love ( I kept my mouth shut), then it went to When you decide to leave him... ( I advised her I had been with him 14 and will be with him forever more, I have no intent to leave him, I do believe he is my soulmate). Her tune changed to after this , " When he decides to divorce you and find a "REAL" woman. I let her babble on.... Then came the ," I will be here longer than any tramp that decides to ruin his life, yours the next and the next and if you don't like it then you can F*** OFF!!!" Well I said WOW. That's all I said at that point. She said Yeah wow Kiss my A**. I said no honey with all do respect you F*** OFF and when you decide to sober up you can call me back. I hung up the phone. She immediately calls back. I answer. I said I don't believe you have sobered up quite that quick from tequila and congratulations your number is now blocked. But Oh no ladies and gentlemen the story doesn't end here LOL. My wonderful FIL who spent many many years with her, she gives him a call. She tells him the story ( the truth) HAHAHAHA he defends ME. She told him repeatedly that My husband would leave me AND HIS SON for her. My FIL said "DONNA, Are you stupid. why would you believe that he would leave that woman and his child whom he loves very much and is very good for him for his mother?!" LOL PRICELESS Anyways yes, I understand some spouses do bring some of the drama on including myself occassionally but honey try and try alike the outcome is not the same. Some MIL are just NUTS. Some MIL need to be handled. Some MIL get OWNED by their ex husband. Ladies with IL troubles BLOCK, DELETE the annoyances from your own life. If your S/O see's whats going on I hope they do. Then you are safe, Let them talk S*** behind your back. But there are ways to avoid it. She can write him all the letters she wants, she can call him and talk .... but by george he knows who I am more than she does. I'm the one he lays down with and has pillow talk with and just like she's not going anywhere until the day she croaks, neither am I.
I read this, and laughed. I have been married for 16 years. I met my husband in high school, and we got married after he was commissioned and graduated from college. I would love to love my in-laws.
My FIL sexually molested three people in his family, including my SIL, who in turn molested my husband. When my husband did his second deployment, it was to Iraq mid-war. My husband told her that he had taken out a life insurance policy, so that my son and myself were taken care of in case of anything happening. With SGLI, I would have gotten over $1 million if something happened. My MIL said, "I don't understand why an 9 month old needs $1 million." Before we got pregnant with my son, my MIL gave us money to freeze my husband's sperm. Was upset when we didn't spend the money on freezing his sperm, and instead put it into my son's education fund. When my son was two he was diagnosed with autism. My FIL refers to him as the "little r*tard," and my MIL said, "well, now that he's not going to college, you can use that money I gave you to go to Hawaii and go on a real honeymoon."
That's not even mentioning my SILs, BILs, and other family members. My BIL told my me, in front of my son, "I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for that one." <pointing to his nephew with autism. My OSIL, the one who molested my husband (he forgave), went on line and said that my husband ruined her childhood, because my MIL favored him over her. My other SIL is a crack addict who lives under a bridge and has come to various relatives houses trying to rob them. My youngest SIL is almost 30, getting married this fall, and wants a cardboard cutout of my husband at her wedding for pictures, she's also having a temper tantrum that I haven't made up my mind if I'm coming to see the dysfunctional family from hell. My husband's favorite aunt demanded a paternity test for my son, and said that if she ever saw me she would "beat me up." Another aunt comforted her daughter by stating about my daughter, "don't worry, she'll be ugly, look at who her parents are."
So forgive me for praising the Good Lord that we haven't lived closer than 8 hours to that bunch...
I guess I've been fortunate. Both times I've been married, I've had great in-laws. On the flip side, I think MY parents just tolerated my first husband for my sake, but they love my current husband. I know my current MIL was a little reserved at first, but it's hard to blame her being that my husband and I met and got engaged within 4 months of knowing eachother and got married a few months after that, but she's never been anything but nice to me and supportive of us. Even now that my husband is deployed, she still calls every Sunday to talk to me and has offered to come up and help out if I feel I need a break or some assistance with our son.
I hate my inlaws--there is no question there. I have never come between them and their son--ever. I have always been there for them, kept them informed, and I have actually been the one that encouraged they mend their relationships, but as a family, they are incapable of communicating on any sort of level that would even allow for civilized conversation. I have been honest and polite. The last time they invited themselves to our house for two weeks, they took advantage of our hospitality and offered little in the way of return.
They literally change my husband every time they come in contact with him. He reverts back to the way things were when he was a child and believe me it is neither pleasant to deal with or pleasant to overcome after they have left because my husband doesnt even realize just how mean he becomes.
These people take every chance they can to berate my husband and I and to let us know just how awful our ideas and thoughts are.
Believe me I have tried to be nice to these people, tried to understand them, tried to help them, etc, etc, etc, but after 11 years of putting up with, being honest, and trying to mend this family, I am just unwilling to do it anymore. My husband definitely agrees with me--hes had enough too. I'll admit I come to this board to complain because its my only outlet and I feel like there are people here who understand.
I completely agree with you except for one thing. When you say "don't try and come between them and your husband." I don't try to, but THEY try to come between him and I. My husband is currently deployed and I am making an effort to maintain a relationship with his parents, I take my child to see them, maybe not as often as they'd like, but again it has to work for me. I have always told my husband that I will never make him choose between his family and myself, but if it came down to it, he better choose me. We are now a family, and they do not respect that. I put it this way... would your MIL like her MIL still telling her how to run her and her husband's life? Telling her how to raise her kids? Telling her what house to buy, ect.? No, I don't think so. I respect my MIL because she is my husband's mother and because she is the grandmother of my child. But I don't need her calling my husband and telling him what he should or should not do with his money. Or telling me what I should feed my child. I also don't need her asking us person questions about money, ect. They need to understand that they no longer control what their sons are doing in there life. I think once MILs understand their new role in their sons life, then there will be less tension. Until then the DILs probably will have a problem with their MILs. It also sometimes is reversed, the MILs do understand what role they should now play in their son's life and the DILs cause problems for no reason. they both n96eed to respect EACH OTHER for the relatiosnhip to work, bottom line!
I know I will get some bad post about this but why the hate when it comes to the In-Laws? I can say there are some bad ones out there but you as the wife/husband need to know that the family was there long before you and I have to say they don't just go away once you marry .. SORRY-- if you wanted to live life without In-Laws then you should have married someone with no family ties.. I can Say I dont have the best relationship with my In-Laws but I DONT COME BETWEEN THEM AND HIM.. I just dont go with him when he wants to go home to see his family and I Play nice when they come to see him after deployments... There is nothing wrong with letting him or her have their family time and its wrong to make your Husband or Wife choose between the two of you. Now I do think the Man/ Woman need to stick up for their spouse if the family tries to cause issues.. So again I ask why the hate.. why cant you just let him or her have their relationship with their families and you just step a side and live your life? I for one can say it works and it doesn't cause any issues with Hubby and I... may want to give it a try; just tell him/her that you are respecting the relationship they have with their family and dont want to come between that love.. You may see a change.. I sure did when his mother asked why I didn't come around and I told her my feelings..... and I can say she has treated me a lot better then she use to.. she now respects OUR family time and now calls and ASK (not tell) when she wants to visit and she also has respected me for my honesty about the issues we have had in the past.. Remember there is always a adjustment time after a Marriage and it takes time for each side to come to terms with boundaries (the Brides side as well as the Grooms side) I can say there are some Women out there that cry over the MIL but she cant see the issues her man has when it comes to her family.... Just remember if you cant make an effort to get along with his family dont expect him to to make an effort to get along with yours..
This completely reminded me. We had our first Yellow Ribbon meeting a little while back and there was a woman that got up and talked about how women can explain to their husbands the difference in importance between their mother and wife. She literally said "ladies, get up on top of your husband... and once you're all up there nice and cozy, tell him that unless his mom is doing for him what you are doing for him you do not have equal billing."
"Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires." Francois de La Rochefoucauld
I agree. I love my in-laws, and sometimes more than my own family. I too don't understand why there is so much hate. I find its more common with newer spouses, its like its a power struggle, i just dont get it.

i wouldn't say I hate my in-laws, I love my FIL to death he is awesome, but my MIL is another story, i don't know if she likes me or not, it's hard to tell with her but I am sure in my heart she doesn't like me. so many things have happened since my hubby and I got married 8 years ago, first she told him i was only marrying him for his paycheck and benefits with out even meeting me, i had a job that made just as much as him and had my own benefits. Then she tells me that my hubby will always be in love with his 1st fiance and then invites her to our wedding shower. thankfully she didn't come but her mother did. She barely called me through his first deployment even though i was alone with 3 kids, one of them a newborn. then she had to be the first one to hug him upon return for his deployment which was fine with me, since she had to hug him through our daughter that ran for him while pushing people out of the way ( she was 5) then second deployment came around and the in laws came down, hubby left on a Thursday and he asked them to stay through the weekend to help me and she said she had to get home to work on her kitchen, even though we had a 2 week old at the time and she didn't even want to spend time with her or the other grandkids. She has "forgotten" the kids birthdays even though hubby has reminded them and the two youngest kids share her and my FIL's birthdays ( shouldn't that win me some DIL of the year points at least?) this past year my hubby was in Korea for the year, she never called, oh wait she did once when we got our tax return in and she wanted to let me know how much to send them since we owed them some money. i tried calling and talking to her but she seemed to busy and uninterested in what i was telling her and now that we have PCSed to a new base that is 3 1/2 hours from them, she has never come up here, my FIL has been up here twice but she just can't make that long of a trip and I am NOT packing up 4 kids to go and visit her, we did that at our last base with an 8 hour trip and i am not doing it again. the one time she was suppose to come up here, she called the morning they were suppose to leave and said she was just to sick to make the trip, my hubby was crushed and has sworn not to invite her up here again, and the icing on the cake was them "forgetting" to send our oldest daughter a card for her birthday this past week, my hubby was beyond angry and when his mom called she didn't have enough time to talk to our daughter on the phone but chatted on about his brother and his kids ( they are all she talks about when she calls anyway, she does everything for them!!) we have two more birthdays coming up in the next two weeks so we will see if they forget those, since they are the kids with the birthdays the same as her's and my FIL's . I don't tell my hubby my feelings about his mother, i let him vent to me when he is upset with her which is most of the time, but she is his mother and he loves her so i will love her too and her craziness even if she likes me or not.
I've actually taken the same approach--only now see MIL on holidays and am civil and polite, nothing more. I have taken the high road despite her completely rude behavior and continual attempts to come between my husband and I. Do I like her? No, but I only tolerate her when necessary. She has had some truly crazy moments though, especially when I was pregnant (and later miscarried). She wants to be a grandma in the worst way.
In defense of other extreme cases in laws, I would say that cutting them off (at least for a time) is necessary in hopes of things getting better. The drama gets to be too much and when that's the case, it's best to walk away.
I like your idea of: why cant we all just get along... in a perfect world that'd be great! But I know in my situation that is impossible task. Some families are stubborn and two faced (that'd describe my inlaws) not to mention selfish. Although I do not attend their family functions anymore with my husband, I do take my son over there to see them while he is away for AF stuff. I would prefer to never see them again... they've ruined my wedding, almost ruined my marriage, not to mention ruined my name in certain circles in my town. Not everyone is worth getting along with... I know this because I come from an amazing and loving family who embrace my husband and our life choices, while his does the exact opposite and offers no apologies for their behaviors. So... just another side to the argument.
I hate my MIL. My husband's family is "Mormon" (even though non of them go to church... ever) and when she found I wasn't a Mormon and wasn't planning on converting, she has hated me. I'm also half Asian and she always has a snide, racial remark. At our wedding, she insulted me, my little sister, my mother and my grandparents (my mother's parents). It was to the point that my mother had to leave because she was so upset. She has 4 sons and the oldest 2 are living at home, on drugs, unemployed and in and out of jail. My husband and his youngest brother are both in the military and she treats the two of them like CRAP for "leaving her" while the oldest 2 are treated like kings. I think it's great if someone has a good relationship with their in-laws but sometimes it's just not possible.
I hear ya anangelsmom. I'm getting pretty tired of reading the same ol' "I hate my in-laws" rants. I understand that having a great relationship with your in-laws like I do is not always the case but I have to think that maybe it's the way I view them as well. I respect them as being in his life before and longer than I have. They have seen sides of him that I have never seen and hopefully will never see. There are things about them that annoy me of course but I adapt and overcome. They don't have as much money as we do and flying the entire family across the U.S. would break them. Do I hate having to fly there every time we want to spend time together, oh he!! yeah, but I do it because family is the most important thing. I view a marriage as joining two families. Not creating a completely separate one.
i don't believe conflict with in laws is a power struggle, but more so a lack of proper communication skills and poor etiquette on both sides of the party. in laws can be snippy, overbearing, and sometimes outright rude. other times, we play the that part in the relationship by being obnoxious when it comes to the relationship our husband/wife has with his family. honestly, it's different for everyone and i believe when people come to the forums to rant about their issues with in laws it's not really about hatred, it's more along the lines of being frustrated. i, myself, have a fairly good relationship with my husband's family. but, that isn't to say i am not strong minded when it comes to certain things. my husband's family has been there and will be there for him, but once you take a partner, they too become your immediate family. i am not saying that sacrificing a relationship with your family is okay, i am saying that it becomes a different tune when you're married. you move away, make babies, and start to the evolution all over again so that one day you are the in laws. i think parents will always play (and i am talking about good ones) a part in their child's life, but interfering after a certain point is just not justifiable unless an issue (addiction or other catastrophic events) occurs. i think that is the stressed issue at hand with a lot of posts regarding in laws. it's not about having a leverage of power, it's simply stems from frustrations.
i just keep thinking wookies and jawas!
I hate my in-laws for the complete opposite reason you posted. My in-laws HATE me, so much to the point that they will NOT see my husband because of it. You would think I have done something wrong to them right? Somehow broke his heart or cheated or something? No!
When we first started dating my hubby talked to his mom, she heard me in the background talking to our friend, and asked who that "asdfjkl;" was. I never measure up to her, and she doesn't even take the time to find out why she hates me. I WANT my husband to have a relationship with her, he is working on with his father now. But he is tired of putting in the effort only to hear every single time they talk about why I don't do this, or why my religion is that, and how could he marry someone like ME (who again she has never taken the time to actually get to know).
We were planning on meeting my family and his family in Memphis which is about halfway for all of us (some from GA, SC, and KY, and we are in OK) for my son's first birthday, when my husband told her, she said she wouldn't go, but if we wanted her there we would go to KY (an 18 hr drive for us, and a 12 hr drive for my parents who are broke atm) Then she got mad when he said we couldn't do that cause it wouldn't be fair for everyone. She went on about how she wasn't ever going to see her grandsom (who btw she never calls to ask about or asks for pictures, when we had our baby shower she didn't send anything NOT EVEN A CARD!) Sorry, but I will hate her until one of us dies...I know it's harsh, but I would also support my husband if he wanted to have a relationship with her, just so long as me or our son are not involved.
I don't hate my in-laws but I can't say I like them much either. I don't like the way they treat my husband. His mother in particular has no respect for his decision to join the military. She won't let him talk about his work or even look at him if he wears anything camo in the same room with her. She told me, "I would rather he came out as gay than joined the Army." I just stared at her, thinking, "There are so many things wrong with that sentence that I can't even count them."
So...hate, no. But I'm never going to love somebody who treats my husband that way.
i wouldnt say that i hate some of my inlaws. but there are like two that i only talk to them when we are around them for the simple fact that when we (my hubby and i ) first told my father inlaw and my hubby's stepmother that we was getting married. the first thing out of their mouths (and keep in mind that this was also the first time that i was meeting them) was that we had better not have kids because they did not want to be grandparents again. and my hubby's stepmother does not really like us well mainly my hubby i think. we have been told that she has said and thinks that she wishes it had been my hubby who had died back in like 2002 instead of her son. and this was recently that she has said this. i know she may still be grieving but she shouldnt have said that. i dont think i can forgive on that. and also it seems like that my inlaws are bring up that they all are on their second marriage and they are more in love and happy in their second marriage. well to me that just makes me feel like they are wanting my hubby and i to divorce. and also like with my father inlaw and stepmother inlaw they have never really came to our house when we have invited them. except one time and that was like back in jan of last year. but they are always expecting us to come and visit them even when we do not have the money for gas. but i will not stop my hubby from having a relationship with them but that doesnt meant that i have to enjoy my time with them.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela died Thursday at 95.
Mandela, who served 27 years in prison for anti-apartheid activities in white-minority South Africa, emerged to become his country's first black president. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
"The world has lost a great leader. Keeping Nelson Mandela and his family in our thoughts and prayers," Gov. Tom Corbett Tweeted early Thursday evening.
Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) posted a photo of himself and Mandela, saying, "Today my family and I join with millions around the world in mourning the loss of a great humanitarian. Nelson Mandela was a personal inspiration to me, and to so many others for the many sacrifices he made on behalf of the country he loved so dearly. … While we deeply regret this loss, we are grateful for his work bending the arc of history towards justice, and for his legacy that will continue to lead us all in the pursuit of a more just and more peaceful world."
Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) shared his condolences and said, "Mr. Mandela's unwavering commitment to justice and equality will continue to provide an example to politicians and activists for many generations."
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) sent a Tweet offering his condolences.
Leaders around the world recalled Mandela as a "father of democracy." Current South African President Jacob Zuma confirmed Mandela's passing, saying, "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father," The Huffington Post reported.
U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) said, "Mandela will be remembered as being the 'father of democracy' in South Africa and as a leader who always put his country ahead of himself; his legacy will live on in the hearts through his charitable funds and foundations."
Echoing Fitzpatrick's sentiments about Mandela's legacy was U.S. Rep. Allyson Y. Schwartz (D-Pa.), who said, "Through his steadfast integrity, unyielding will and humility, he was a beacon to all who struggle against racism, tyranny and oppression in support of freedom, equality and dignity. President Mandela changed his country and the world, and his iconic example and life-long efforts will not be forgotten."
President Barack Obama is expected to travel to South Africa for Mandela's funeral, the Huffington Post said. Obama, speaking from the White House, said, "Like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set."
Mandela was known for inspiring others. The Huffington Post has put together a slide show of some of his most memorable and powerful quotes. Among them: "If I had my time over, I would do the same again."
Mandela will be buried in the village of Qunu, where he grew up.

Offices Types of Financial Aid
All policies are subject to change by the institution or federal and state agencies.
Federal Direct Loan Program
Direct Loans are low-interest loans for eligible students and parents to help pay for the cost of a student's education after high school. The lender is the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), though the entity you deal with, your loan servicer, can be a private business.
Student Loans:
There are two types of Federal Stafford Loans: Subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans. Recipients of Federal Stafford Loans must be enrolled in school at least half-time (6 credit hours). Graduate students are not eligible for subsidized Stafford loans (effective July 1, 2012).
- Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan is a loan program through which the government pays the loan interest for the student while the student is in school. This type of Stafford loan is need based.
- Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is a loan program through which the loan interest accrues while the student is enrolled. This type of Stafford loan is non-need based.
Under the provisions of the program, a qualified dependent undergraduate student may borrow the following maximum annual loan limits:
$5,500 Freshmen
$6,500 Sophomores
$7,500 Juniors and Seniors
$20,500 Graduate students
Independent undergraduate students may be eligible for additional unsubsidized Stafford loan.
Additional lifetime aggregate borrowing amounts apply.
Parent and Graduate Student Loans:
PLUS loans are unsubsidized loans for the parents of dependent students and for graduate/professional students. PLUS loans help pay for education expenses up to the cost of attendance minus all other financial assistance. Interest is charged during all periods.
- Parent Loan for undergraduate student (PLUS) is for parents of dependent students. The amount a parent may borrow cannot exceed the cost of attendance minus other aid awarded to the student.
- Grad PLUS loans are for graduate/professional students. The amount a student may borrow cannot exceed the cost of attendance minus other aid awarded to the student.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain post baccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education. Students may use their grants at any one of approximately 5,400 participating postsecondary institutions. Grant amounts are dependent on: the student's expected family contribution (EFC) (see below); the cost of attendance (as determined by the institution); the student's enrollment status (full-time or part-time); and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less.
Students may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.
Federal Supplemental Equal Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Pell Grant recipients with the lowest expected family contributions (EFCs) will be considered first for a FSEOG. Just like Pell Grants, the FSEOG does not have to be repaid.
Federal Work Study (FWS)
The FWS Program provides funds for part-time employment to help needy students to finance the costs of postsecondary education. Students can receive FWS funds at approximately 3,400 participating postsecondary institutions. Hourly wages must not be less than the federal minimum wage.
Merit Scholarships and Admissions Grants For New and New-Transfer Students
3.00+ GPA's Presidential Merit Scholarships
2.25 - 2.99 GPA's Admissions Grants
Potash Hill Grants
3.00+ GPA's Transfer Scholarships
2.49 - 2.99 GPA's Transfer Grants
Governor's Institute Grant $5,000 (For students who have completed a governor's school summer program)

Community College Grant $1,000 (For transfer students from Community College of Vermont)
Beautiful Minds Grants (Enrolling winners of the Beautiful Minds Competition)

Awarding Criteria:
- All first-time first-year applicants who apply for admission who have an unweighted cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.25 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) may be considered for renewable Marlboro scholarships or grants each academic year.
- Transfer students who apply for admissions that have an unweighted cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.49 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) may be considered for renewable Marlboro scholarships or grants each academic year.
- Awards are renewable on an annual basis under the following criteria: Students must be enrolled full-time for consecutive semesters (approved leave of absence and absentia will be considered).
- Adequate satisfactory academic progress must be maintained.
- Students lose scholarship eligibility upon withdrawal from the college. Eligibility will not be reinstated if the student is readmitted at a later date.
- Where an unweighted grade point average is not available on an applicant's transcript (homeschooler, etc.) the awarding of a scholarship will be based upon the following criteria: rigor of curriculum, grades/written evaluations, writing samples, recommendations, co-curricular involvement, community service, and quality of the application.
While the GPA ranges provide some structure in determining scholarship eligibility, each scholarship awarded is ultimately determined by a holistic review of all of the application materials submitted in each applicant's file. Applicants may be awarded scholarships at levels above or below their respective grade point averages.
The final awarding of all scholarships to eligible applicants is ultimately at the admission committee's discretion.
Merit Scholarships and Admissions Grants For Returning Students:
Students who enrolled full-time at Marlboro College and were awarded a merit scholarship or admissions grant and, who are eligible to reutrn to the college full-time in the next consecutive academic year are eligible for their scholarships to be renewed if the student is maintaining satisfactory academic progress (approved leave of absences and absentias will be considered). Other information that may apply for returning students include:
- The maximum length of the scholarship ranges, depending on the year in school of the student at the time of enrollment. (Example: first-year freshman is eligible for 4 years or 8 semesters; a junior transfer is eligible for 2 years or 4 semesters).
- Students lose scholarship or grant eligibility upon withdrawal from the college. Eligibility will not be reinstated if the student is readmitted at a later date.
- Scholarship types for returning students may include, but are not limited to: Trustee's Merit Scholarship, Dean's Merit Scholarship, 60th Anniversary Grant, Governor's Institute Grant, Phi Theta Kappa Grant, Community College Grant, Beautiful Minds Grant, Founders Grant, Leadership Grant.
Marlboro Grant
This institutional grant is awarded to students who have need as determined by the college's financial aid policy whose need cannot be met by federal, state or other means. Marlboro College may supplement a portion of need with Marlboro Grant.
Endowed Scholarships
Currently enrolled Marlboro students are eligible for scholarship consideration for our endowed or named scholarships. Ranging from the Roland Boyden Scholarship in the humanities to the Lillian Farber Scholarship in social justice (see list below), the named scholarships vary in fields of study, qualification requirements and funded amounts. Each spring, the faculty scholarship committee reviews eligible continuing students and nominations them for these unique scholarships. These scholarships require financial need and recognized academic excellence. The scholarship will be integrated into the financial aid package such that 100 percent of the award will offset a Marlboro Grant.
All require academic excellence. Scholarship awards vary from year to year depending upon the earnings of endowed funds. Awards replace Marlboro Grants (100 percent), therefore students must have been awarded Marlboro Grant.
- The George I. Alden Trust supports two scholarships given annually, one to an older student who has returned to school and the other to a student who shows promise of excellence in the natural sciences.
- The Robert Sheldon Stainton Scholarship is awarded annually to an upper-class student for academic achievement and community service.
- The Warren R. Sisson Scholarship is awarded annually to an upper-class student for academic achievement and community service.
- The M. Brenn Green Scholarship is awarded through the generosity of the late trustee, Brenn Green.

State Grants
Some states offer grants to students attending institutions within or outside the student's home state. It is recommended that a student check with their home state's Department of Education or State Guarantee Agency to determine if grants are available and how to apply.
Outside Scholarships
Marlboro College recommends that students seek out outside scholarships and grants to subsidize their Marlboro education. Scholarships can come from sources such as private foundations to local companies and financial institutions.
Tuition Exchange
Marlboro College is a member of The Tuition Exchange, Inc., a non-profit association of colleges and universities across the country. The Tuition Exchange (TE) was founded with the purpose to make careers in higher education more attractive. TE strives to achieve this through a reciprocal scholarship program, which finances college tuition for the children and other family members of staff and faculty employed at participating institutions. See Marlboro College's Tuition Exchange Policy.
Yellow Ribbon Program for Veterans
Marlboro College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program as part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Only veterans entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements) or their designated transferees may receive this funding.

A contemporary vision of seaside leisure, shot by Massimo Vitali. By gauging a certain distance from his subjects, Vitali creates a perspective that captures the beauty and patterns of the scene.
This offset print is an artist's proof, stamped and editioned.
Born in Como, Italy, in 1944, Massimo Vitali arrived on the art scene relatively late. After stints as a photojournalist and film cameraman, Vitali finally acquired international renown in the 1990s for his large-scale photographs of Italian beaches and other public spaces showing anonymous people during their leisure time. Vitali's works have been interpreted as a contemporary version of landscape paintings, reinterpreted through photography.

From Farmers to Merchants, Voluntary Conversions and Diaspora: A Human Capital Interpretation of Jewish History
by Maristella Botticini and Zvi Eckstein. Reading for Tuesday, 26 June.
Published: Friday, June 22, 2007
From the end of the second century C.E., Judaism enforced a religious norm requiring Jewish fathers to educate their sons. We present evidence supporting our thesis that this change in the religious and social norm had a major influence on Jewish economic and demographic history. First, the high individual and community cost of educating children in subsistence farming economies (2nd to 7th centuries) prompted voluntary conversions, which account for a large share of the reduction in the size of the Jewish population from 4.5 million to 1.2 million. Second, the Jewish farmers who invested in education, gained the comparative advantage and incentive to enter skilled occupations during the vast urbanization in the newly developed Muslim Empire (8th and 9th centuries) and they actually did select themselves into these occupations. Third, as merchants the Jews invested even more in education–a pre-condition for the extensive mailing network and common court system that endowed them with trading skills demanded all over the world. Fourth, the Jews generated a voluntary diaspora by migrating within the Muslim Empire, and later to

Bolivar, if he's making noises from his pie hole, I mute or leave the room. Ditto if he's being talked about. Boortz last show purposefully had zero mention of Zero, and it was to be bleeped if one leaked out. I'm with him on that one. Reason? Simple. It seems to me that he has not been able to tell the truth on any occasion since his inauguration, and actually for some months before that - back in 2008. 2012 was just a re-hash of that, with zero truth content. Who needs to waste time listening to noise that irritates, and if you perchance decode the words you are hearing, know that there is NO grain of truth in any of it? I don't. Kinda like teaching the pig to dance, and lipstick and all that. Irritates the pig, etc.tomw

I am recently using a new system which is a Lenovo T410 with model number 2537LE3.
I noticed that whenever I am playing musics files from a USB flash drive which surfing the internet,
it causes a blue screen sometimes with error message something like "IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS" with file "e1k62x64.sys".
The incident happens when I press I press enter when finished typing address or clicked link in webpage in Internet Explorer.
I did a quick search on the file and found that it is from the ethernet card driver.
So I suspected that when there is simultaneous usage in USB and Ethernet, then the blue screen will most likely occurs.
Hope somebody will help me to solve this problem.
Running on system:
Lenovo Lenovo T410 2537LE3
BIOS version: 6IET68WW (1.28)
Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with latest updates
Ethernet driver version: 126.96.36.199
Thanks for posting about this issue. We have identified a potential fix and are working with our OEM partners on validating the fix. I will let you know when the updated drivers are available.

Please keep me looped as well. At the moment I am only having the issue when I am using my port replicator with the E6410. Specifically when I try and transfer files to and from the server. SMB seems to bee an issue (either that or some overflow condition). My pithy internet connection may be keeping ftp & http downloads functional. Don't seem to have the problem undocked though.
I blue screen weekly. Drives me nuts.
We have same issue with couple of Dell 6410 & 6510 both with 82577LM NIC running on Windows 7 64bit. Do you have some estimates when this will be fixed?
Having BSOD issues with this driver as well - I've seen some posts on the web that say it is the driver in combination with the Cisco VPN client, but haven't been able to confirm that. I would like to be notified when the new driver is available as well. Thanks,Dave
Well, in my case I haven't encounter any BSOD issues with Cisco VPN client running although I have Cisco VPN client installed. I noticed that the BSOD kicks in almost twice or triple a day when I am using the laptop together with dock.
We are running Symantec Endpoint in our company with "Network Threat protection" service enabled. After i removed Network Threat protection i did not had a bluescreen yet.
Hi All,
I am also having this same problem. I have a Dell M4500 with Windows 7 Pro x64. I have the Intel 82577LM Nic with the latest drivers 184.108.40.206 installed. I have the Cisco VPN 5.0.07.0290, SonicWall Global VPN 4.2.6.0305 and Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6100.645 installed. In my case I get a BSOD every single time I try to play any mpg video file from a shared folder on my server. I haven't seen the problem when copying files.
I get the BSOD while docked or undocked..
I uninstalled the Symantec Network Threat Protection but the problem is still there. I haven't tried uninstalling Cisco VPN because I use it every day and I am not sure that would fix this problem. Hope to see a fix soon…
I think I found a workaround. I just uninstalled the latest drivers and installed and older version, 220.127.116.11. On the Intel website they are listed as Ver:15.4.1. Here is a link, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19259&lang=eng
After installing the older version you may want to go into the device manager to make sure the older drivers are being used. In my case, even though I used the installer for the older drivers Windows automatically used the newer drivers. I had to manually go into the properties for the NIC and roll back. So far problem seems to be fixed.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!
Julio - SouthCal IT
Having the same issue with a E6510 Win 7 x64 docked.
Try following JulioSCIT's advice (and link) regarding the older drivers - I installed them yesterday and worked for about 2 hours in my dock without an issue. So far today (approx 5 hours) I haven't had a BSOD - I'm on an E6410 running Windows 7 Enterprise 32BIT.
Be sure to uninstall the driver from Add/Remove programs and reboot before installing this version otherwise it might not "downgrade" the driver properly
I have the same BSOD experience with the Dell E6410.
Additionally when connecting into a Gigabit port, connection is often only at 100Mbs. Changing 'Speed and Duplex' on the 'Link Speed' driver tab to "1.0 Gbps Full Duplex" causes the speed to change to Gigabit and this speed is then maintained when the speed is reset to "Auto Negotiation" - even after a reboot. Boot from power up may result in Gigabit speed or may return to 100 Mbps.
Hopefully this is related to the problem that has been identified and is being fixed. The problem is present on multiple E6410 machines....
Ditto, also experiencing the BSOD on the Dell e6410 running Windows 7 64bit.
It was happening pretty consistently when transferring files from my old laptop.
I was able to reproduce it by starting a few gigs worth of file copies over the wired adapter and then opening a browser (or other app) that accesses the internet over my wireless adapter.
I wound up doing a complete removal of Symantec Endpoint Protection and so far it has not happened again.
I haven't been able to reproduce the BSOD so far, right now my finger is pointing at SEP as the culprit.
I'll be able to tell for sure after a full day of work, after the labor day weekend. I'll compare notes with coworkers experiencing the BSODs on a daily basis.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your posts. The driver update you need probably will not be available in a generic release from Intel download center until Q4. However, your computer manufacturer has the fix now. I recommend you go to your computer manufacturer for whatever fix they have instead of waiting on the generic release.

Anniston's Wednesday high is expected to be around 48 with temperatures dropping as low as 26, according to the National Weather Service's office in Calera.
The weather service predicts Thursday will be even colder in Anniston, with a low of 23 and a high of 54.
A cold front will move into the area around midday Tuesday, bringing with it strong winds and below-freezing temperatures, said Kevin Laws, meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
"All the cold air is going to settle in behind it over the next two days," Law said.
Winds are expected to be strong Wednesday and Thursday as well, with speeds up to 20 mph, Law said.
"You'll definitely notice it. It'll be a lot different than today," Law said.
The cold weather is slightly unusual for this time of year, Law said. Anniston will come close to breaking the 1904 record-low temperature of 22, Law said.
Temperatures are expected to rebound quickly, Law said, returning to highs in the 70s by the weekend.
The NWS has issued a freeze watch for the county for both Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Freeze warnings are typically issued the day before a weather event, Law said. Temperatures will be low enough to kill crops and other sensitive vegetation, according to the weather service.

Founded by neoconservative trailblazer Irving Kristol in 1985, the National Interest has drifted away from its neocon roots since its takeover by the realist-oriented Nixon Center in 2001. Editor Jacob Heilbrunn, for example, recently defended libertarian Sen. Rand Paul against an onslaught of criticism from GOP hawks—including Irving Kristol's son William—who battered the Kentucky Republican over his opposition to U.S. intervention in Syria and Ukraine. Heilbrunn, who held out that Paul could revive the realist Republican school of foreign policy, likened Paul's critics to Cold War-era hawks who "were all full of talk of confrontation and readiness to resort to nuclear war" but who ultimately failed at the brass tacks of foreign policy.
James Schlesinger, who passed away in March, was an elite member of hawkish policy circles for decades. In the 1970s, he served under several administrations as the director of the CIA, secretary of defense, and secretary of energy, before entering the corporate world and serving on government advisory panels for the remainder of his career. A lifelong advocate of nuclear weapons, he was once called the "Yoda" of nuclear strategists. Despite his generally hawkish views, Schlesinger evinced an independent streak, once warning military leaders not to take any order to mobilize from President Richard Nixon—whom Schlesinger thought was dangerously unstable—unless he or Henry Kissinger had approved it.
Bret Stephens, a Wall Street Journal columnist who has long trumpeted a hawkish "pro-Israel" line on Mideast policy, recently penned a satirical op-ed calling on Republicans to vote for Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in the next presidential primary, because—he explained—what Republicans need as a "nominee in 2016 is a man of … glaring disqualifications. Someone so nakedly unacceptable to the overwhelming majority of sane Americans that only the GOP could think of nominating him." Among the issues that mark Paul as a right-wing crazy, according to Stephens, is his insistence that Vice President Dick Cheney helped manufacture a "war in Iraq" for his friends in business and politics. But, asks Stephens, "Cui bono—to whose benefit? It's the signature question of every conspiracy theorist with an unhinged mind. Cheney. Halliburton. Big Oil. The military-industrial complex. Neocons. 9/11. Soldiers electrocuted in the shower. It all makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
Jaime Daremblum, a former Costa Rican ambassador to the United States who now works at the neoconservative Hudson Institute, is a vocal proponent of conspiracy theories concerning an alleged Iranian plot to attack the United States in alliance with left-leaning governments in South America. He has been especially alarmist about Venezuela, whose democratically elected government he has described as a "virtual dictatorship," as well as Argentina, whose government he has accused of cooperating with an Iranian coverup of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
Concerned Women for America (CWA), a Christian Right advocacy group founded to combat the influence of "anti-God" feminists, recently made "support for Israel" one of its core issues. As part of its newfound mission, the group lobbied in support of the Kirk-Menendez "insurance policy" sanctions on Iran, which critics said were designed to scuttle the ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear enrichment program. The group has also drawn controversy in recent years for supporting anti-gay legislation in Russia and for publishing a host of anti-Islamic statements.

As the U.S. attempts to reassure its allies in Asia of its longstanding security commitments in the wake of Russia's annexation of Crimea, some Asian leaders—such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe—are making provocative gestures toward their rivals, complicating Washington's balancing act between containing China and engaging it.

By Steve Mistler firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
There was an interesting subplot to last week's controversy in the Legislature over the salaries for three political positions.
Millie MacFarland
Staff File Photo
Millie MacFarland, who was elected House clerk by the new Democratic majority, was at the center of it because House leaders were considering paying the longtime clerk what she was earning when she left the post in 2010.
Lost in the debate was the fact that Democrats were in a bind to fill a position that is far more than the paper-shuffling job its name suggests.
MacFarland spent 32 years in the clerk's office before losing her job when the Republicans won the majority in 2010.
In addition to overseeing a 10-person staff, the House clerk has significant control over parliamentary procedures – which lawmakers can sometimes exploit to advance or defeat legislation.
The recently ousted Rep. John Martin, D-Eagle Lake, was one of the best-known practitioners of parliamentary tricks, which can sometimes be used by the minority party to stall or prevent passage of a bill.
An experienced clerk can blunt those tactics.
The House speaker often confers with the clerk to ensure that the rules are followed. The clerk is a bit like a referee – who favors the home crowd.
That's why the position is a partisan one.
MacFarland, a Democrat, retired after 2010. She told the Kennebec Journal recently that she never thought she would return.
But the new Democratic majority needed her. With 41 freshmen among the 89 members, the group is relatively inexperienced.
Also, Democrats had few people who could jump in and replace MacFarland.
MacFarland, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, told the Press Herald last week that she took the job with the intention of training Robert Hunt, the assistant House clerk, for the lead position.
Democratic leaders in the Senate faced a similar situation when veteran Joy O'Brien was poised to return as secretary of the Senate.
But rather than take her old position, O'Brien became the assistant, which will allow her to coach first-time Secretary Darek Grant.
O'Brien took less money to return as the assistant secretary, which is why she wasn't pulled into the same controversy as MacFarland.
So why didn't House Democrats convince MacFarland to become the assistant clerk? Experience.
Grant, the new secretary of the Senate, has worked in the office. But Hunt, a two-term state representative, is new to the House Clerk's Office and will get some experience under MacFarland's wing.
Walmart, Aetna raise LePage funds
Gov. Paul LePage hasn't made any formal announcements about whether he will seek a second term in 2014, but his re-election committee is proceeding as if he will.
On Dec. 5, Aetna, an insurance company, and the mega-retailer Walmart hosted a fundraiser for the governor at the Portland Country Club in Falmouth.
The reception cost $1,500 per person, $2,000 per couple and $3,000 for three guests.
The fundraiser was one of several that have been held for LePage's re-election bid.
Campaign finance reports show that the governor's re-election committee has drawn more than $82,000 since the last reporting period, in July.
Donations from the most recent fundraiser are not reflected in the semiannual report.
Just don't call it 'ME-SPAN'
Executives at C-SPAN, the channel that covers Congress, have taken an interest in the new Maine Public Broadcasting Network channel devoted to State House coverage.
And it's not because C-SPAN is offering advice.
Last week, Bruce Collins, C-SPAN's general counsel (translation: attorney), contacted MPBN President Mark Vogelzang about the name of the new Maine station.
Vogelzang had already adopted a working title of "MPBN State House Channel," but Collins was concerned about a reference in a Portland Press Herald story to "ME-SPAN," an informal moniker that some folks in the State House had used to describe the channel.
